World of Goo
Developer: 2D Boy
Publisher: 2D Boy
System: Wii (WiiWare)
What a mess! Yuk! Just look at all the goo! Imagine living in a world filled with this stuff. It might be a lot like 2D Boy's World of Goo, available for the WiiWare service.
The goal of the game is to get a required number of blobs of goo to a pipe at the end of the level. Easier said than done! Luckily, there are several types of goo that each have their own properties. Some can be stretched out in more ways than others, some can float, some can catch fire, and so on. You'll need to be clever to figure out some of the sticky puzzles that are presented to you.
The game features a realistic physics engine, so the messy structures you build will need to be balanced, or else you'll be knee-deep in glop. Other objects in the game behave with the same realism, which makes the gameplay more intuitive, addictive, and nerve-racking. Don't get sloppy!
With the leftover goo you accumulate, you can build a tower in the World of Goo Corporation mode. The height of your tower is compared with those of other players around the world via WiiConnect24. While there's no direct online multi-player mode, you can play through the game with up to four players locally. It requires a lot of cooperation, however, so find some friends you work well with, or you'll be up to your neck in goo!
Ew, gross! Things are getting out of control here! World of Goo has been highly acclaimed as one of the best games available for the Wii. It's available for 1500 Wii Points, which may be a little pricey for a WiiWare game, but quite a bargain compared to lesser retail releases. The puzzles are challenging and highly addictive. Be sure to check it out!
But first, clean this mess up!
